Radio Signal (DCF):

The DCF signal (time signal transmitter) consists of time impulses, which are transmitted from one of the most accurate clocks in the world, in the proximity of Frankfurt / Main, Germany – it varies by 1 second in 1 million years.

Your radio-controlled alarm clock will receive the time signal under optimum conditions up to a distance of approx. 1,500 km from Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Reception of the radio signal generally takes approx. 3–10 minutes.

Operation

Reception can be considerably impaired by obstacles (e.g. concrete walls) or sources of interference (e.g. other electrical devices). You may have to change the location of the radio-controlled clock (e.g. near a window) if there are problems with reception.
